This allows you to tell Cogl that you are planning to replace all the
buffer's data once it is mapped with cogl_buffer_map. This means if the
buffer is currently being accessed by the GPU then the driver doesn't
have to stall and wait for it to finish before it can access it from the
CPU and can instead potentially allocate a new buffer with undefined
data and map that.
There was a missing '* 4' and '* i' in the for() loops that initialized
the first test buffer, so it was containing uninitialized data causing
the test to fail.
This removes cogl_pixel_array_new which just took a size in bytes.
Without the image size and pixel format then the driver often doesn't
have enough information to allocate optimal GPU memory that can be
textured from directly. This is because GPUs often have ways to
spatially alter the layout of a texture to improve cache access patterns
which may require special alignment and padding dependant in the images
width, height and bpp.
Although currently we are limited by OpenGL because it doesn't let us
pass on the width and height when allocating a PBO, the hope is that we
can define a better extension at some point.
The usage hint should be implied by the CoglBuffer subclass type so the
public getter and setter APIs for manually changing the usage hint of a
CoglBuffer have now been removed.
